Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

"He doesn't deserve to pay with his life for such a thing that will destroy his descendants. Even if this matter goes to court, my family won't be stained with ashes!"

Ren sarcastically said, but seeing that Shui Sanmei's face was really ugly, she smiled softly.

He changed the topic and said: "I am a sincere person, and I have told you all this. If you think it will work, let's do it this way. If it doesn't work, there is nothing I can do!"

After Mrs. Ren finished speaking, she stopped talking, leaving Sanmei Shui to think carefully.

Shui Sanmei didn't expect that Ren would really be able to get all the thirty taels of silver, but she was just holding on to a bit of luck. It was not bad to be able to borrow six taels of silver at this time.

"Just do as you say. I will go to the cold pool tomorrow. When can you give me these six taels of silver?"

The gambling shop only gave longevity a month and ten, and it had been several days now. If she didn't pay back the money as soon as possible, she was afraid that one day the mistake would make her lose sight of her, and longevity would become a cripple with no limbs. Thinking of this, Shui Sanmei felt really sad. It's anxiety.

"Why are you in a hurry? We will go with the matchmaker to the Liu family on the third day to look after the family. The Liu family will come to the house on the sixth day to give small gifts and get the horoscopes. No matter how fast the betrothal gift is, it will not be sent to the family until the horoscopes are completed!" Mrs. Ren said without any hurry or panic.

"Oh, you don't know. The gambling house has set a time limit of March 20 to pay off the debt. I'd rather delay it. Only those who are dissatisfied with it!"

After Shui Sanmei finished speaking, she began to curse and scold the person who opened the gambling shop.

Ren didn't say anything. When she took a breath after scolding her, she thought for a moment and said, "Shanzi is getting older. The Liu family wants to marry her husband as soon as possible. Don't be anxious. These days After all, I will choose the one that is close to me, so I can’t miss you!”

After saying that, he leaned forward, looked at Shui Sanmei's eyebrows, and said seriously: "There is only one thing. The fact that you misappropriated my brother Xian's betrothal gift must not be known to a third party. You must get these money by the end of the year at the latest." You have to pay me back, otherwise I won’t be able to answer to Da Yong for the new year’s account!”

Shui Sanmei didn't want it, so she nodded in agreement and swore not to tell anyone else.

Things were almost settled after discussion. Although it did not meet expectations, it was not considered a fruitless trip.

It was really not too late, and Shui Sanmei was afraid that she would not be able to explain when she saw Ren Dayong coming home later, so she confirmed the loan amount with Ren before standing up to leave.

"Wait!"

Ren suddenly thought of something and stopped Shui Sanmei who was about to leave.

Seeing the confusion in Sanmei Shui's eyes, Mrs. Ren hurriedly said: "For some small things, I was thinking that if a doctor comes to your house to diagnose your pulse and prescribe medicine, you just ask him to keep the medicine and it will be done. We know a lot, so we can't let it go to waste." Got the medicine money!”

"There is no shortage of medicinal materials in the back mountains. Let Chang Xi and Xiu Xiu pick them up and boil them as they please. Don't drink it. Just make a show of it. Don't get better too quickly. If Chang Xi and Brother Ying are filial, Yes, it only takes about ten days to sell the land, so that others will not be suspicious!"

Mrs. Ren thought about what Shui Sanmei had said just now to provoke her and Liu Shan, and she responded with a few words.

After listening to this, Shui Sanmei thought about it carefully and felt that Ren's idea was a good one. It could not only prevent the disease from healing, but also save some money on medicine. I am alienated from myself and resentful in my heart.

I also thought that after the land was sold in the future, Huang Ying would be taught all the work that needed to be done to open up wasteland and cultivate fields.

After thinking about it, my heart, which was still a little sad, relaxed slightly, and then I left with satisfaction.

After sending Sanmei Shui away, Mrs. Ren closed the courtyard door.

The kitchen door creaked open, and He Dayong came out wrapped in a piece of cotton. He said in a deep voice: "What is she doing here? You still let me hide. I advise you not to mess with her. Let me know." , but I can’t spare you!”

If it were normal, Mrs. Ren would have retorted when she heard this threat, but now she also deeply hates Shui Sanmei. Seeing He Dayong not wanting to see Shui Sanmei, she felt that her man's eyes were clear, and he knew that Shui Sanmei was a girl at a glance. They are vicious and evil-hearted!

..........................................

Time passed quickly in the busyness. On the second day of March, Liu Yu went to Liu Maolin and Liu Maoye's house to pull tables and benches.

I heard people talking about Shui Sanmei's illness being so severe that she couldn't even get enough water!

If the villagers nearby were suffering from illness, Liu Yu would definitely sympathize with her, but if this person was replaced by Shui Sanmei, Liu Yu would listen to it as news, and eventually go home to share the experience with Nian Shi Changsheng and others.

"Yesterday I went to the village chief's house to borrow a raincloth, and I heard Brother Xian's mother say that Shui Sanmei was suffering from qi disease, that she lived a long life, and that she lost forty taels of silver in a gambling house. She also wanted to borrow Brother Xian's betrothal gift. !I was rejected by Ren!"

Liu Fusheng rarely interfered with the family's often-mentioned filial piety.

Now that he was talking about it, he obviously felt that Shui Sanmei was outrageous.

"Hey, this damn bitch is so thick-skinned. How could she use someone else's bride price to pay off her gambling debts? Brother Xian didn't even spit in her face!"

After hearing this, Nian's eyes became stern. In the past two days, she went to the village to collect eggs and heard some rumors. Xu Shishui's third sister was not so powerful yesterday, but she didn't hear much about it.

When she heard that the mother-in-law was really thinking about the betrothal gift that the third son had received from the He family, she became so angry that she scolded Shui Sanmei bloody.

"Maybe the child is about to get married. Brother Xian's mother doesn't care about Sanmei Shui. In the past two days, the family has been trying to replenish Brother Xian's body, and even filled a bowl with it and sent it to the Tian family!"

These were all shouted by Mrs. Ren at the entrance of the village, saying that Shui Sanmei was lying on the kang and couldn't get up. She had been cursing Huang Ying day and night, her voice was hoarse and she couldn't stop yelling!

Liu Fusheng shook his head and didn't know what to say about the things Shui Sanmei did. Fortunately, Chang Xi was considerate and knew that her husband was innocent and had no choice. Huang Ying was scolded together.

These things have little to do with my own family. They are just a joke for everyone to watch!

There was a meeting in Dongyue Temple on March 3rd, but some villagers who burned incense got up in the middle of the night. In order to get a good position, Liu Yu discussed it with Liu Meixiang and decided that he and Changsheng would take the lead and go to get a good position the night before. , put up sheds and everything.

Two bags of flour, three to four hundred cooked rice dumplings, two cuts of meat bought today, peeled spring bamboo shoots, a jar of pickled pickled vegetables, and about two hundred boiled eggs.

Six small tables and more than 30 matzas were also placed in the courtyard. There were three clay stoves borrowed from the third room of the main house and three of my own.

There is also a washed raincloth, and some other miscellaneous items, such as salt, oil, ginger, vinegar and other condiments, as well as dishes, cups and chopsticks and other necessities.

There was too much to load in one cart, so Liu Yu moved another large porcelain basin filled with rice grains from the kang in the east room.

Suddenly the whole courtyard was filled with the unique aroma of rice wine.

Liu Meixiang went to the first and third rooms to call for people while Liu Yu was packing her things.

After a while, Liu Maolin and Liu Maoye arrived home with their two brothers, Liu Fan, pushing three carts.
